Mass outbreak
Swarms are one of the many ways that players of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl can obtain Pokémon that are outside of the Sinnoh Dex, especially Pokémon that are exclusive to other regions.
Every day on a particular route, a "swarm of Pokémon" appears. By this term we mean that the catch rate of the given Pokémon grows from 0% to 40%, making it very easy to find. Swarms last only one day and are random events. However, the player can obtain information about the current swarm by talking to, depending on their own gender, Dawn's or Lucas's sister in Sandgem Town.
Due to higher catching rate of swarming Pokémon, they make longer and better chains when using Poké Radar.
